It's no coincidence that our editors run out of this stuff on the regular. Both the washable and waterproof formulas are some of the best drugstore mascara formulas to have ever existed. And yes, it really does make you look like you're wearing falsies — just without all the fuss.

Tarte makes some of the best eyeshadow palettes in the game, so when a rare sale like this comes around it's best to stock up on the limited-edition shades while you can. Our favorites in this Dream Big pick? Happening (a sparkly plum) and All In (a watermelon pink).

Behold: The only highlighter that makes strobing feel fun. Even if the long-lasting pigment wasn't as good as it is, the bouncy, buttery formula would be worth all the money in the world (although this only costs $7).

Lip gloss is back — and the gloss renaissance has brought us all lots of new formulas — but this cheap fave from Nyx has been a holy grail of ours for years. You can snag it for even less today thanks to the retailer's BOGO deal.

Sure, you loved this stuff when you were in middle school, but it's about time you repurchase it as an adult. Why? It cuts down on frizz every single day — and even withstands the worst heat waves. Bonus: Camila Mendes is a fan and it's buy one get one 50% off right now.
